As the coronavirus pandemic made a devastating sweep across the globe it became clear that while the virus didn’t respect borders it did affect people of color, especially Black people more than other groups. Research from The Brookings Institution on COVID-19 has it as the third-leading cause of death among Black Americans.
The virus hit the medical community hard in the early days as health care professionals were among the countless number of people becoming infected with the deadly virus. Dr. Susan Moore, a Black physician, at the age of 52, passed away from COVID complications on Dec. 20.
